Known to most of you as Stu, Stuart has worked in the insurance industry over 30 years, starting as a trainee writing out manual covernotes and doing the filing.
Over time, he progressed through the ranks to head up the acquisitions team, negotiating the purchasing of other brokers.
He also set up a High Net Worth team focusing on
non-standard and high value property insurance.
After that business was ironically acquired, by a large national brokerage, Stu was made redundant and joined 1 Answer Network a couple of months later to look after the Helpdesk.
Seven years have now passed and he is our Head of Operations.
Stu has two ‘young adult’ children and, having grown up by the sea, loves nothing better than a walk along the shoreline after work. He’s also lucky enough to have access to open countryside nearby for walks in the sunshine.
We asked Stu a few questions so you can get to know him a little better.
